The easiest way is to click Unnotify either above or below the display of posts.

Alternatively, go to your Profile settings and the Email Notifications section, where you can disable notifications for lots of threads at once. Also at the top of that page are options to disable notifications completely on threads you post in, or to specify which ones you want.

(As I have email notifications on for threads I post in, now that I've replied to you I'm going to have to do this as well.)

Such unusual names obviously make it easier to trace them, such as Lucretia Theodosia Arbuthnott, unless you find they had a namesake first cousin of similar age also called Lucretia Theodosia Arbuthnott.

China has 92 million people with the surname Wang, which is Chinese for King. So the Chinese and English words for king are quite similar. Imagine trying to trace an ancestor called Zhang Wang in Beijing in the 1800s.

Whilst I was trying to track down your Lucretia, I came across the surname which just might be a forerunner of ARBUTHNOTT on ThePeerage.com

Why?   .................................
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.
He/she who never made a mistake, never made anything.
Archbell - anywhere, any date
Kendall - WRY
Milner - WRY
Appleyard - WRY
